Circle Thank You Cards - Simon Says Stamp August Card Kit

 Hello! I'm popping in to share a couple more cards using the newest August 2025 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Best-Teas! This month's kit is so cute with a tea and coffee theme! The included stamp set has some adorable little images to fit the theme, and some fun large sentiments that are a perfect fit (there is a matching die set available HERE as well)! There are some fun coffee theme pattern papers, a bottle of the new Perfect Splatter Medium...that's all not to mention the cardstock, envelopes, word die, and more! 

The monthly card kit has even more perks now when you sign up for the Subscription service! There is a video HERE you can watch to learn more! 

I recently made a shaped card, and it was so fun, that I thought the kit contents would work perfectly to create a couple more! I pulled out my Scalloped Circles wafer die set, and created the cardbase from white cardstock, scoring a portion of the back scallop to create the fold for the card to open. I then cut smaller layers of pattern paper from the kit, trimming part of them down to add the correct layers, but keep the pretty scalloped edge. The sentiments use the new Fancy Thank You die in the kit - I cut one layer of each from white cardstock, and one from the Gold Kraft cardstock in the kit, then reversed the layers. I added secondary sentiments from Reverse Thank You sentiment strips, a wrap of White Lawn Fawn Twine, and then a few Dazzling Gems in Gold to finish off! Here is a closer look at each of these cards:

Tea Party Thanks Cards - Simon Says Stamp August Card Kit

Hello! I'm popping in to share my first cards using the newest August 2025 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Best-Teas! This month's kit is so cute with a tea and coffee theme! The included stamp set has some adorable little images to fit the theme, and some fun large sentiments that are a perfect fit (there is a matching die set available HERE as well)! There are some fun coffee theme pattern papers, a bottle of the new Perfect Splatter Medium...that's all not to mention the cardstock, envelopes, word die, and more!

I used a BUNCH of the cute images in the stamp set to create a background. I used the included Sage cardstock in the kit, and arranged all the images to fill my space. Since I had it all lined up in my MISTI anyway, I then stamped and heat embossed once in white, and once with Gold Pearl embossing powder. Once they were heat set, I added some ink blending around the edges with Juniper ink to make it pop, then added some of the white splatter medium over top. Once that dried, I popped the panels up on white cardbases, added sentiments from EZ Strips Thank You Reverse sentiments, and a few Dazzling Clear gems clustered around those sentiments! Which color do you prefer - the white or the gold? I'd love to hear! Here is a closer look at both of these:

Simple Masculine Trees - Simon Says Stamp Friend Like You Release

Good morning! I'm back today with another card using the Simon Says Stamp Friend Like You Release! This time I was trying to build up my masculine birthday card stash - as well as put the newest ink colors to use!

I started by pulled out the new ink colors - Jade, Eucalyptus, and Juniper they are such a pretty set of greens! The new Firework Friends is adorable - but I especially loved the cute little row of trees in the set, and thought it would be perfect for some layered stamping to give a little forest effect. I stamped the lightest color first, then built up toward the front moving to the next darkest shade. I added a sentiment from Birthday Basics stamp set, trimmed the panel down with A2 Rectangles, then matted the panel with black cardstock, and mounted on a Sage cardbase. I was SOOOO tempted to add more embellishments, but decided to restrain myself, and keep the design super sleek and simple - perfect for a guy, and easy to mail as well! Here is a closer look at this simple little card:

Soft Branch Thank You Cards - Simon Says Stamp Friend Like You Release

Good morning! Today's cards are bright, airy, and nearly one layer! I used more of the newest Simon Says Stamp Friend Like You Release for these, and I just love how they turned out!

I started off with two white cardbases, and directly stamped one of the leafy branches from Wildflower Cuttings stamp set along the top and bottom, using the darker of each pair of ink colors. I then added some soft ink blending around the top and bottom with the paler shade of ink. For the pink one, I used Bubblegum and Sweets, and for the purple one I used Lilac and Amethyst. I die cut the Nuvelli Script Thank You die a total of 8 times from white cardstock - and layered up 4 layers for each card. This left such a subtle effect of the white on white, but the simple dimension lets it pop out at you and shine! I rounded off one corner of each card, and then added a sprinkle of Dazzling Gems in Opal to each card to finish off! Here is a closer look at each of these:

Arched Feel Better Cards- Simon Says Stamp Friend Like You Release

Good morning! Yesterday I shared a couple fun cards using some of the Simon Says Stamp Friend Like You Release (you can see those cards HERE). Today I'm taking some of the leftovers from those cards, and showing how I used them to create two additional cards! One of my favorite things to do in cardmaking!

If you saw my post yesterday, you know I used Gansai Tambai Granulating Watercolors with the  Dahlia Background stamp set - I heat embossed it with Gold Pearl embossing powder on watercolor paper. Then I simply grabbed a single color of the watercolor, and dabbed it everywhere on the background image, adding a concentration of color on the flowers. I still love how magical the these colors are on these floral backgrounds! For these cards, I used the window I cut out of the center of the panels using A2 Arches die. I again used a couple of those same dies together with Honey Gold cardstock to create a simple thin frame to put around the edges. I popped those panels up with foam on my white cardbases, then added sentiments using Wildflower Cuttings stamp set, and a few little white leaf elements cut using Privet Branch. I finished off with a few coordinating Dazzling gems in Bubblegum and Lilac. Here is a closer look at these cards:
